Sandor Dargo ☛ Trip report: C++ Online 2025 | Sandor Dargo's Blog
Right at the very end of February, the C++ conference season was opened by the second edition of C++ Online. I think it won’t take you by surprise that this was an online conference. In a certain way, an online conference offers less than one that happens in real life, one must admit that it has some advantages.
First of all, it’s open for more people. It requires less investment money- and time-wise, and people can easily attend from different time zones. You can attend even if you don’t manage to get dedicated time from your employer. Some talks - depending on your timezone - were outside of business hours, plus the raw recordings were published very promptly so you could watch something that you missed even on the same day.
This came in handy for me, as I could not dedicate so much time attending talks live as I wanted to. To add a personal side-note, I also wanted to be more active promoting the conference, but a thigh-packed vacation with not much access to the internet prevented me from doing so.
Now it’s time to share my favourite talks!

Rust Blog ☛ The Rust Programming Language Blog: Announcing rustup 1.28.1
The rustup team is happy to announce the release of rustup version 1.28.1.
Challenges with rustup 1.28.0
rustup 1.28.0 was a significant release with many changes, and there was a quick response from many folks that this release broke their processes. While we considered yanking the release, we worried that this would cause problems for people who had already updated to adopt some of the changes. Instead, we are rolling forward with 1.28.1 today and potentially further bugfix releases to address the feedback that comes in.
